Our initial aim was to use our blog to transfer ideas and thoughts, so I'm delighted that you have found that to be the case. I have just taken a look at your product which is delightful. I was unsure what it would be when I saw your domain. In the UK we spell checks as 'cheques', so I wasn't expecting to see what I did! Check in the UK means to 'examine'. Here is the site should anyone like to take a look at artisticchecks product, does anyone know if we have anything like this in the UK? http://www.artistic-checks.net/ The power of words is amazing and should never be underestimated. On the communication courses Beyond The Box delivers we cover the area of words and their use. With such international business opportunities and multi cultured workforces here in the UK we need to be ever more mindful of the different meanings of words. Something as simply spelt as the word to, too, two can cause confusion if written incorrectly or used in the wrong context. In addition there are many words in the English language that are spelt the same yet have different meanings, example: right as in correct, and right as in opposite to left. Does anyone have any that are particularly confusing? When communicating with someone whose first language is not English I endevour to think more carefully about the words I use and clarify that the person on the receiving end has understood. It can help to avoid confusion and misunderstanding! Thank you artisticheks.com for your comment.

I think you may be correct, the fact everyone spent the time together socially as well as in a working evironment helped to forge some very strong relationships. Everyone was dependent on each other for support in all areas. Having said that, the relationships forged with Richard, Faisal and Tim was equally strong and they spent less time in a social environment with the rest of the team. That could dispel that idea any thoughts? Christine Thanks Natasha

Most of them load the pages with junk, but this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. If only other webmasters would do what you have done and build a really worthwhile site on the subject.

I also think a big factor was because we all lived in very close proximity for 7 weeks and it was a cases of forge strong relationships or sit and eat alone every night! In all seriousness, I can't give a reason why we all get on so well and are all so adiment to keep in touch, however I couldn't be happier that it worked out that way! What I do know though is that every great team has great leaders and each and every one of us is completely indebted to you for giving us this oppertuninty and teaching us everything we know! Christine,

It costs nothing but makes both the sender and the receiver feel great. For those wondering soul food is delivering positive feedback. It's so easy to look for positives and they can be found in any situation. Thanks Michaela, I think you make a good point, ‘Soul Food’ is literally ‘priceless’.
